Dionysus was born in the basement of the Furst family home. Steve on drums, Dan on guitar. Many a migraine headache was inflicted upon our bewildered parents! We also tortured our neighbors by periodically giving "shows" in the grand concert stage of our garage. We moved to california in the spring of 1987 and after Steve graduated college in 1991..we started to get serious about our basement project and find some players who could add their talents to the growing body of songs that had been written. Up until then we had just been playing house parties and school shows with a roatating line up of friends and local musicians. When we finally settled upon a stable line up with Steve on drums, brandon on Bass, myself on guitar and Phil on vocals...I decided to move to england for 8 months. I forgot to mention it to the others...ooops. Things fell apart in my absence but on the upside, I purchased a cheap acoustic guitar in London and in the privacy of my dormroom and the inspiration of Europe around me...began to write the songs that ended up on the Dionysus cd. After returning home in the Spring of '92, Steve and I recuited Dave Hollyburton on bass and Jason Crowley on vocals. Both needed much work to get to the level that Steve and I were at but eventually we got there and started to play private parties and clubs. After lots of gigs, a series of demo tapes and positive local reviews, Dave was replaced by Shawn Mulkins, a graduate of such local thrash bands as Circle of Fear and Last Rites. Shortly afterwards, Jason was replaced by Kurt Wolf. Kurt was finally the vocalist who could deliver not only the voice...but the stage presence and show as well. With this line up, the band went into Suspect Studios in the summer of '95 and recorded for many months. Mixing was done in the idyllic hillside of Canyon Studios.... where disaster was nearly averted by a hungry DAT player. Finally, Gates of Eternity was mixed by Tom Carr at Music Annex and released to positive reviews. Dionysus played a cd release party at On Broadway in San Francisco and went on to support Gates of Eternity by opening shows for the likes of Machine Head and Vicious Rumors as well as many headlining shows. By early 1998, with the rock scene nearly extinct in Frisco and grunge all the rage..Dionysus called it a day. This website is for the music and for our brother Shawn who was killed in a car accident in 2002.
5. Formed 1998 in United Kingdom (Glasgow, Scotland). The band is still active.
Dionysus, A 5 Piece metal band from Glasgow with influences from a wide range of styles including black / melodic / death / doom and power and fantasy inspired lyrics. After numerous line-up changes the band are now in the process of writing and recording their 3rd full album.
"Glasgow six-piece Dionysus method of playing 'black metal' manages to be almost equal measure bathory bludgeon and power metal widdle and still sounds cool. Uncharacteristically down to earth - for their genre rather than geographical origins, in Glasgow - Dionysus confess to loving cheese but without heartfelt shame. Thoroughly enjoyable headbang-worthy stuff."
6. Rap artist from United States (RICHMOND, Virginia)
7. Neo-Classical metal from Korea formed in 1989. They have released 2 full-lenght albums.
8. Dionysus is project of Scott Ludlow
9. Dionysus (A.K.A Mellow) is Rock / Ambient / Jam Band from UK.
Dionysus are a 5 piece flash rock jam band from Bristol, England. They use all kinds of strange implements and things to create their strange slightly tribal sound. Us live at their first ever gig, doing a really bad cover of Breed by Nirvana. (they didn't have a bassist then)
Sam has left. He has gone to work on other projects. They have to found a new member and are about to record a 4 track EP with the songs Rats, The Peak, Northern Lights, and Black and White.
10. Dionysus is a Death/Doom metal band from Lahore, Pakistan. They have released a single on internet named Peace with Greed. And also a rough recording of a neofolk instrumental Glimpse of the beloved.
Illusion Of Life
Dionysus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know the fall has just begun
Nowhere to hide, you can't get out
You were trapped inside your lonely life
Empty inside almost insane
Feel so lonely you're stuck to bare the pain
Only you can take control
Watch out before the hangman takes your soul
Don't hide there nowhere to run
No escaping from all the things you've done
It's time to face reality
There is no chance for you to feel
Falling, loosing your ground
And times running out but still you're blind
[Chorus]
You're down and out, you're lost in paradise
You're just a fool, a fraud filled with lies
You're in a land where shadows watching you
That land is only an illusion of life!
Watch out darkness will come on your way
Decide if you ever want to change
You're the one with the golden key
To the future and to your destiny
You need to find out who you are
Take my advice or else you wound get far
Stop pretending that you're the man
Guilty of charge it's time to take your stand
Falling loosing your ground
And times running out but still you're blind
[Chorus]
You see the shadows closing in
I know the fall has just begun
Nowhere to hide you can't get out
You were trapped inside your lonely life!
[Chorus: x2]
The opening lines of Dionysus's song Illusion of Life seem to describe a person who is slowly getting overwhelmed by life's challenges. The shadows surrounding the individual represent the problems they are facing and the fall that has just begun suggests that things are only going to get worse. The lyrics suggest that the person has been living a lonely life, perhaps feeling empty and almost insane. They are feeling the pain of loneliness and have lost control of their life. The hangman in the lyrics represents the consequences that are looming if they don't take control of their life.
As the song progresses, the lyrics suggest that the person needs to take control of their situation because there is nowhere to hide and no way to escape from the consequences of their actions. They need to face reality and take responsibility for their choices. The chorus suggests that the person is lost in an illusion of life, where they are pretending to be someone they're not - a fool, a fraud filled with lies. The shadows in the land surrounding them represent the problems they face, and the land itself represents the illusion they are living in.
Towards the end of the song, the lyrics suggest that the person needs to find out who they truly are and take responsibility for their actions. They are the one with the golden key to their future and their destiny, and they need to stop pretending to be someone else. In conclusion, the song "Illusion of Life" encourages listeners to take responsibility for their choices and be true to themselves.
